Remember last year people were throwing out 100+ for Rusney


Not at all...i remember the speculation being more towards 50 million. But most of that was from the side of people who don't think he's a "impact bat."

Moncada has much more upside. I'm surprised it didn't eclipse 40.

There were definitely 100+ million dollar rumors put out there as well. I also think it's such a big difference in Castillo and Moncada's contract due to the fact one is still a prospect and one was technically MLB ready. It's pretty crazy to pay a guy a boat load of money to sit in the minors for a couple of years... which is likely.

Most projections had Moncada 30-40 from what I've seen. I think Yankees was second highest at 27 or something like that. It's safe to say people fell suspect to the media inflated projections again.
